Founding of predecessor IBM (1911)
On June 16, 1911, the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company was founded. It was formed by the merger (through the acquisition of stock) of the Bundy Manufacturing Company, the International Time Recording Company, The Tabeling Machine Company, and the Computing Scale Company of America. CTR was originally headquartered in Endicott, New York. The holding had a total of 1300 employees, in 1924 it changed its name to International Business Machines (IBM).
The Birth of the NetPC (1997)
On June 16, 1997, the so-called NetPC was born. It was a standard for diskless PCs developed by Microsoft and Intel. All information, including the installation files, was located on a server on the Internet. The NetPC was introduced at PC Expo and lacked both a CD and a floppy drive. The hard disk capacity was limited, the computer chassis was secured against opening, and it was not possible to install any personal software on the computer.
